MUSE 4

Forget about thinking you have to buy a new glider every year. The newly designed Muse 4 embodies designs from MACPARA’s other intermediate performance paragliders. The bonus is that it offers incredible safety and stability that is really fun to fly. This allows pilots to fly more often without the worry of feeling like their flight may be jeopardy. Safety and performance matched together makes this a popular choice for pilots who take a causal approach to flying on weekends. The Muse 4 is certified in the EN A glider category.

The Muse 4 is simple to control on the ground and in the air. You will feel like a pro with its exceptional take off characteristics to get you flying right after inflation with no hassles. It will stay above your head without the tendency to overshoot, collapse or wander off course. The safety in the Muse 4 is best admired by pilots that are looking for a paraglider resistant to collapse. With this glider you can keep your eyes on the scenery instead of being worried about what’s coming next. Flying the Muse 4 you will notice immediately how well it is able to perform everything you need to enjoy the flight without feeling like your missing out. MACPARA hit the target by designing a fun performance glider with high stability characteristics. When flying the Muse 4 on several XC flights we proved that it can fly same distances and speeds like other gliders from high categories and this relaxed. Often we left the landings with a big smile on our lips.

The new Muse 4 has given more attention to the airfoil resulting is a noticeably better glide ratio and in flight stability. The smooth shape of the airfoil nose is maintained by long lasting Mylar reinforcement combined with new age plastic rods. These high tech rods give the front of the glider stability in the air after it effortlessly scoops up the air for a perfect launch.

The Muse 4 is yet another quality made glider by MACPARA that will continue to perform for the years to come. The construction using diagonal ribs and a system of load-bearing tapes together with 3D shaping of panels gives the canopy stability and helps keep a clean profile. The Muse 4 has 46 cells and a nice elliptically shaped canopy with an aspect ratio of 5.16. The glider is light. Just 5.1 kg for the medium size which results in very easy launches. Lines are made from time proven aramid-kevlar series from german manufacturer Edelrid. The lines do not only stand out for their durability and strength, but they maintain the designed geometry of the glider. The glider will keep its good take off characteristics in time. Do not believe me? Ask other pilots how takes off an old MACPARA glider and those from competitors.

Intensive testing resulted in a well balanced glider with simple take-off characteristics and easy behavior during extreme maneuvers. The canopy is very resistant to collapse keeping your flight on track. In the event of a collapse the opening is smooth and fast. In an induced collapse the glider gives a rotation of only 30 degrees. The canopy of the Muse 4 is well damped in all axes but offers lively sporty handling to keep you smiling!

The light brake pressure allows pleasant turns during long thermal flights and increases progressively towards the end to offer a good safety margin. It has a large brake range offering good pilot input to know how the glider is flying above you. The Muse 4 is 3.5 liner paraglider with a 4 point riser system and split to different colored “A” risers for easy big-ears. The shape of the control handles is flexible and offers optimization according to the preferences of the pilot. Perfect for training in paragliding schools. The pilot taking off and in the flight has no tendencies to put hands away from the body like a scarecrow in a field. Do not believe me? Try it!

EDEN 6

The EDEN 6 is a high-end EN B glider designed for ambitious cross-country pilots. The Eden 6 does require a degree of skill. Although it is certified to EN-B category and You will feel safe and secure flying it, the EDEN 6 is not suitable for beginners and occasional pilots.

Featuring the new revolutionary leading edge technology the glider offers extremely high XC potential. It is concentrating our know-how and experience from the successful ELAN. The result is light weight design glider with extraordinary glide performance that beats its competitors in accelerated flight. All this with a high degree of passive safety.

The Eden Series has always made flying significantly easier. Well balanced canopy is combined with sporty handling in thermals. Easy launching and landing characteristics are by MAC PARA already for years traditional. The new performance features, progressive handling and safety found in the Eden 6 will appeal to many pilots in search of the perfect XC paraglider.

The design was optimized in every way. New airfoils combined with light weight leading edge reinforcement on the panels with shaped rigifoils makes the canopy clean and very performing. Unsheathed gallery lines and thin sheathed main lines decrease the drag significantly. Triple 3D shaping offers not only new color design on the canopy but increased aerodynamic smoothness. Mini ribs on the trailing edge, higher arc, new design of the stabilizer all help to reduce the drag and increase the performance of the EDEN 6. Rigidity of the canopy together with reinforced diagonals and load bearing straps has been optimized for enjoyable flight comfort.

Eden 6 is manufactured from proven Skytex materials to warranty longevity. Skytex 40 hard finish for main and diagonal ribs. Skytex 38 classic is used for external ribs, top and bottom surfaces. The gallery lines are made from unsheathed Edelrid Aramid/Kevlar, main lines are made from sheathed Liros PPSL Dynema lines. Risers are made from narrow Kevlar/Polyester straps and are featured with high quality HARKEN ball bearing pulleys.

The Eden 6 is manufactured using the paragliding industries well established lightweight material with excellent durability; Skytex 38, from Porcher Sport (NCV). For the supporting and diagonal ribs we use Skytex 40 Hard with “hard finish” coating E29A. This gives the advantage of a sail that is both lightweight and very durable.

CHARGER

The Charger is a full-blooded reflex paramotoring glider. New and seasoned pilots alike will immediately feel comfortable flying the Charger and appreciate its incredibly easy launching and landing characteristics, superb stability and excellent cruising speed.

The Charger is the ultimate ‘pilot friendly’ paramotor wing, both in the sky and on the ground. Extremely resistant to collapse, the Charger will put you at ease and allow you to enjoy the scenery, instead of worrying ‘what’s next!’.

You’ll look like a pro with its no-hassle launch characteristics that will have you airborne immediately after inflation. You will be amazed at well it stays above you without a tendency to collapse or wander off course. Even in nil wind conditions, you can trust the Charger to make your landings safe and predictable. During extended flights, the light-to-moderate brake pressure allows for pleasant turns while progressively increasing toward the end of brake travel, providing a reserve of safety.

The glider is undemanding and resistant to collapse even in rough air thanks to the customized reflex airfoils. Much attention went into the design of the Charger’s airfoil, resulting in exceptional penetration and in flight stability. The smooth shape of the airfoil nose is maintained by long lasting Mylar reinforcement combined with new age plastic rods. It features excellent stability throughout the full weight and speed range. The canopy has a dampened roll tendency, but offers good flexibility and agility in turns, and the Charger will not overshoot or hang back.

With the serial risers, which include trimmers and speed system, the Charger’s speed range can easily be dialed in to meet the pilot’s wishes. With trimmers pulled in the Charger’s climb is similar to non-reflex paragliders. With trim out, speed and penetration increase significantly. For flights of long duration in full reflex mode the Charger can be comfortably controlled using the wingtip steering handles. They are perfectly placed on the risers and ingeniously designed to mimic the lighter forces of serial brakes.
